This journey is an attempt to centralize useful resources (code kata, workshops, talks) that can help aspiring Software Craftsperson in their Journey.

• Self-assessment
• Clean Code
  • Functional Programming
• Clean Testing
  • Prerequisites
  • Fundamentals
  • Test Data Builders
  • Property-Based Testing
  • Other topics
• Solution Design
  • Test-Driven Development
  • Software Architecture
• Refactoring / Technical Debt Management
  • What is Technical Debt
  • Legacy Code Refactoring
  • Mikado
• CI / CD
• Collective Ownership
• Other Resources
  • Xtrem T.D.D - All in one kata
  • Talks and Workshops
  • My Book Infographics

You can drive continuous improvement within your team by using a self-assessment tool like the one described here.

There is one category for each big craft topic I have selected.

When I start to work with a new team, I use this tool to align team members on the current situation of the team. For each card, each individual can express their point of views on the topic by:

• Choosing which color represents the most the team situation
• Expressing their findings on it
• Exploring improvement areas
• Defining experiment actions

We can design new cards with the team based on categories they want to improve in.

We then use those cards to measure the improvement of the team in time, and the impact of my agile technical coaching. I use those cards to categorize the below resources. I use them to teach and coach teams on those different axis.

You can download those cards here.
